Can't be bothered getting involved with the argument. But I ****ing loved that era at City. Not trying to spend big, as its not about that but everyone pushing in the same direction, some cult hero's (Including Parkin) who may not have been the most talented but you could tell they cared.
I suppose you think we should've signed Henry when we were fighting for championship survival don't you. Was the best we could've hoped for and did more than enough for us including some CRACKING goals and performances
I liked Parkin, he may not have been the most committed when it came to training, or lifestyle, but he had plenty of skill and managed 11 in 47 for us, some of them fantastic goals.
Surprised it was only 11. I remember him starting like a house on fire and then starting the next season in top form too. I guess he must have tailed off earlier than I remember that season before eventually being ****ed off to Stoke.

Sorry all, but I don't get the hero worship this wastrel is receiving. His two big chances to make a name for himself, here and Stoke, he threw away on pints and half the on display pastries in his local bakery. And who was it who stuck two fingers to the crowd when he was substituted to a chorus of" you fat bastard"?
Still loved beating leeds Felt like we were onto something Maybe he felt like he couldnt play at higher level and wanted to have fun
Twas but a joke sir. Actually, only opposition fans used to chant "you fat bastard" at Deano, which I used to love, because he seemed to score every time they did it. You alright mate?
I thought that but watch any of the highlights with him in and the amount of flick ons he won for others is unbelievable. If Opta did stats on the Championship back then I imagine he created a hell of a lot of goalscoring opportunities in a fairly average team.
